Region 4 Winners and Losers

    The R1 release of this feature is part of Columbia TriStar’s Superbit Collection, referring to the high bit-rate/lower compression transfer of the video in order to produce a pristine picture devoid of MPEG artefacts. It also offers a DTS soundtrack in addition to the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack offered in R4 and R1. Because extras mean very little in comparison to the quality of the audio and video transfer, the lack of the “Behind The Scenes In The Swamp” featurette on the R1 release is largely moot. In short, R1 wins hands down.
